Stem Cells and Their Derivatives in Cardiovascular Diseases and Complications

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a global health burden. Stem cells and their derivatives, such as extracellular vesicles (EVs), offer therapeutic opportunities for CVDs and their complications. This thematic issue of Current Stem Cell Research & Therapy will showcase the latest research on the mechanisms by which stem cells and EVs modulate CVDs and other complications (muscle atrophy, diabetes, etc.). It will cover fundamental, pre-clinical investigations and clinical trials. This issue aims to accelerate the development... see more

Molecular Mechanisms and Translational Strategies Targeting the Disease Immune Microenvironment

This thematic issue aims to highlight recent advances in deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease immune microenvironment, with a particular focus on cancer and chronic inflammatory conditions. It will bring together cutting-edge research in immune regulation, biomarker discovery, epigenetic remodeling, and post-translational modifications that influence disease progression and therapeutic response. The issue will also explore how single-cell and spatial transcriptomics technologies uncover cellular heterogeneity and immune dynamics at high resolution. In addition, it will... see more
